LOCUS aims to host meeting grounds for authentic community building – by and for people of color and indigenous peoples (POCI). We host regular dialogues, events, and family dinners. We embrace and support each other through the pursuit of stronger connection and inclusiveness. Through these practices, we strive to cultivate a pool of identity-driven leaders, ready to lead in our local communities.
